Description
The Innkeeper's Wife & Daughter taking Care of Don after being beaten & bruised. Vol. I. p. 80. W. Hogarth In. et Sculp. Book 3rd. Ch: 2nd. From separate text accompaning the print: Don Quixote. Plate II. p.74 The scene of the second plate is the loft of the innkeeper, which the Knight mistook for a castle, and where Sancho had Don Quixote borne across Dapplle's back, after they had been so severely beaten by the Yangueses, or Gallican carriers. The bruised Knight, lying on the bed, while the hostess applies a plaster to his back, seems to have forgotten his mishap while gazing upon the fair lady of the "castle," who stands beside him with the ointment in her hand. Sancho is rubbing his shoulders, no doubt to the amusement of Maritornes, whose risibility was not proof against his dolorous countenance. The rude scenery of the loft and the armour of the Knight, which has been hung above the bed-head, completes this really excellent composition.
